How to Give
Every way to give, at the café, at an event, or at work
All coffee is women’s coffee. All cocoa is women’s cocoa.
Women farmers are essential to resilient supply chains. When women have access to resources, training and decision-making power, yields improve, quality strengthens and climate resilience increases.
In cocoa-producing regions, women receive less than 5% of agricultural extension services.
